On January 13, 2023, 37-year-old Willie Mack Long III was found in Detroit with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. The same incident also killed 36-year-old Mario Lamar Stodghill.

Long was a husband and father who worked as a CNC operator at Edward Machining. He enjoyed traveling, writing music, gambling, and spending time with family and friends, and was remembered by loved ones as goofy and full of life.

Detroit police arrested a suspect, Darnell McMillan, in the days after the shooting. Authorities said McMillan had been involved in an altercation with Long just before the shots were fired, and he was charged with open murder in connection with Long’s death.

Did anyone in the Detroit area know Willie or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
